Does Kelly Stafford have cancer again? Matthew Stafford’s wife delivers health update

Kelly Stafford, the wife of Matthew Stafford, has spoken out about a frightening health issue she has been experiencing.

On her podcast, Kelly Stafford, who had a brain tumor treated in the past, said she believes she has cancer this time around.

"I think my stomach isn't doing that well. I'm beginning to worry I have cancer," Stafford admitted on her show. "I ended up in the hospital last Tuesday due to severe back and stomach pain. In essence, they stated I had a stomach bug," Stafford said.

Kelly Stafford later took to Instagram to categorically deny those reports.

"I'm infuriated," she said. "This matters because it takes away from the people who are fighting this horrible disease, fighting to live another day, fighting to be there with the ones they love, fighting 24/7."

After her stomach pain, the pair contacted the Los Angeles Rams team healthcare professional for additional testing as she still complained of pain. The outcomes of the tests that have been performed are still being awaited by Kelly and her other loved ones.

When was Kelly Stafford diagnosed with a brain tumor?

In 2019, Kelly Stafford, a podcast host who frequently talks about her family, received a diagnosis of acoustic neuroma, a slowly expanding tumor on the major nerve connecting the inner ear to the brain.

Kelly first started having episodes of vertigo in January 2019, which is the feeling that you or everything surrounding you is shifting or spinning and making you feel dizzy.

"The room just kind of started spinning on me," Kelly remarked. "At that point, I was holding our newborn, and I felt like I was about to fall, so I kind of just about threw her to Matthew."

Kelly underwent an MRI exam at the medical facility, which revealed she had a brain tumor. But the positive news was that her tumor was benign, not malignant.

Doctors advised her to undergo surgery to get rid of the tumor, which, as she recalled at that moment, made her "completely terrified."

Stafford had to retrain how to walk after having surgery, and because one of her ears was partly blown up, she had trouble hearing loud noises.

"It is a lot better lately," Kelly wrote in October 2019 after detailing her path from diagnosis to therapy.

When did Matthew and Kelly Stafford get married?

Both Matthew and Kelly Stafford attended the University of Georgia. They have been acquainted with each other since their days in college.

Kelly and Matthew Stafford wed in 2015 after dating for a number of years.

All four of the couple's children are girls, totalling four. Sawyer and Chandler, who are identical twins, were born in March 2017. Hunter was born in August 2018, and Tyler was born in June 2020. The wife of the Super Bowl-winning quarterback frequently posts pictures of her kids on social media.

Matthew Stafford led the Los Angeles Rams, in what looked like a rebuilding year in 2023, to the playoffs after missing out last season. The veteran QB built an excellent chemistry with rookie sensation Puka Nacua, who became a vital piece in the Rams' stellar run this season. The star WR had 105 catches, recording 1,486 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

Unfortunately, Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions crashed their hopes of a deep playoff run by knocking them out of the playoffs with a thrilling 24-23 victory in the Wild Card round. Matthew Stafford finished the season with a total of 3,965 passing yards and 24 touchdowns.
